Still on first day of ownership with device here. Android currently reports a corrupt SD, and I recall reading that there's two options for storage under Android 7. The traditional, of keeping the SD card as a separate file system, and I think the updated handling has to do with encryption.
Will revisit post if I encounter similar issue, regarding low battery.

It's natural for the first time, but in my case it shows corrupt SD even after I ve already formatted it with my phone (Only if phone switches off due to low battery).

Well It gave me corrupt card error on the 3rd day of use, all I did was just restarted my phone and when it turned on It show Sd card corrupted. Although my PC was able to read it. Then i took a backuo, formatted card with phone and restored data. Hope I don't see the error again.

My card got corrupt yet again after a normal switch off and on process.
It's a 64Gb card. Don't know what to do.

Here the problem comes..., it's a software issue I guess, BTW there is a workaround. Connect ur SD card to a computer and scan it for errors(apply fix if needed), after that test u can use it as before. I hope it helps :good:

Tried everything but not this, yes I also believe it's a software iasue coz data stays intact after it says corrupt. My 1st workaround is not switching off the phone.
Thanks

Same issue here. I bought my Moto G 5 Plus 3 or 4 days ago. Have a Sandisk 32GB (Class 10) MicroSD formatted as Internal Memory. I restarted the phone several times and everything was fine. Till one moment I wanted to take a picture, but the motorola photo app was crashing every time I wanted to take a picture. I restarted the phone and the MicroSD card was corrupt. The MicroSD was basically new, never used, only inserted once in an other phone, but not even used once to store anything. I really hope this is a software problem and not a hardware problem, and that they will fix it..

SD Card Corruption - Lenovo Community
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/MotoG5thGen/page/1/thread-id/1525

Was this ever fixed?? Im buying the phone and getting on Friday

Well, no OTA updates so far, so I guess no fix. I'm using my SD card as external storage (Not formatted as internal) and I had no issues so far. The only downside is that you can barely move any apps to the SD formatted like this. But with the internal storage space of the Moto G it should be enough for now. I hope tough they fix it in the future. I'm wondering tough if it's not an Android issue. I wasn't lucky so far with internally formatted SD cards, on my previous phone if the phone crashed for whatever reason, anything that has changed on the SD since the last reboot would disappear. So I wonder if it's an global android issue.

I'm getting corruption errors with two brand new 32GB and 16GB Toshiba Exceria M302/EA microSD cards (http://www.toshiba-memory.com/cms/en/products/microsd-cards/exceria/exceria-pro-m302-ea.html).
Now I'm testing an old 16GB SanDisk Ultra and it seems to be working but I fear it won't last.
I have a G5 XT1676 with stock NPP25.137-15 and no updates available.

No corruption issues here. I bought a Sansdisk 128GB Ultra card. Ive been using the phone for a couple of months now. I have 80GB worth of music on it and I have photos saved to the card. I think the quality of your SD card will have a lot to do on seeing this issue. Good luck

Similar issue with 32 GiB Lexar SDHC, brazilian G(5)+
Greetings,
The same thing just happened to me: after a manual shutdown {1}: SD reported as corrupted, but reads fine on a Mac. The SDHC card is a 32 GiB Lexar and my G(5)+ is a stock factory unlocked brasilian version.
This did not happen in the prior manual reboots, since I got it in March.
{1} Launcher3 was throwing "not responding" warnings and Google Cards was very laggy, so I manually rebooted the phone after clearing Launcher3 cache and storage.
Cordially,
GemSev.

Update:
So far, all attempts at formatting in-phone stall, in both internal and external modes, at 20% and 30%, respectively.
Waiting for another SD card to arrive for further tests.

My Lexar card just died after a reboot it was working fine in my m8 before I got the moto g. When I plug in the card to my pc I can see all the files but they are write locked so the card is effectively dead.

Subscribed. I am also seeing the SD Card Corrupt on bootup. Wonder if it's bootup or restart/shutdown that messes it up? Tryinig to eject media, turning phone off and booting to see if it's happening on boot time or on restart/shutdown.
EDIT: Didn't have to go that far.... I press EJECT, then took out, inserted back in, CORRUPTED. Must be the EJECT or SD Prepare sequence? Or maybe an encryption issue (when re-inserted it has new keys/whatever encryption it uses?)
EDIT 2: I rebooted phone (power button until it rebooted) and SD Card shows CORRUPTED. It's either not updating the FAT table or must be the SD Prepare sequence corrupting it. I inserted the corrupted SD card on Windows and it showed "You need to format the disk in drive before you can use it." and no matter what format I use it gives me the message format not recognized on the phone.
I ejected the card via OS and checked on PC, CORRUPTED.
I HARD ejected the card and checked on PC, CORRUPTED.
I rebooted phone (power button until it rebooted) and ejected the card before boot and SD CARD is
CONFUSED!!!
It's like the card is good until it powers off, then it's no good.
CONFUSED!!!
Regret not getting the 64GB version now...if that's all I am going to have.. Moto needs to address this issue...

Fixed my SD card
This same thing happened to me.
I repaired my SD card by taking my SD card out of my phone and connecting it to my computer using a micro SD adapter.
When you click on the card's drive letter in Windows Explorer it will probably say 'This drive is corrupt and inaccessible'.
So I opened up the run box by pressing 'Windows Key + R', typed in 'cmd' then 'enter' to open the command prompt.
Then I typed the command 'chkdsk (drive letter of your card) /f'
for example: 'chkdsk D: /f'
Press enter and then chkdsk will run and should repair your card.
You should now make a backup of the files on your card just in case this happens again.

sd card is not even showing so how to format it
guys i have a samsung 16gb sd card it was lost and i found it after 2 days and now it is not even showing in any phone any pc.... i think its pin has tempered but if there is a way to fix it then tell me

The same happens to me, Moto G5 (NOT Plus). All cutom and stock ROMs have had this SD card being corrupted after a boot, came here for help but as I see, there's still no solution to this problem. Gosh, I'm starting to hate this device, buttons are not clicky anymore!
Last time i tried to make my SD card work, after watching a coupple of videos from my SD card, it couldn't read it anymore, I had to format it again, practicaly I can't use my device with SD cards. (Sandisk 16GiB Class 10)

[Q] microSD card unexcpectedly unmounted

Hi,
I've a Desire HD with the 8GB microSD card that came within. Randomly I got a message something like "Sd card unexpectedly unmounted and I can't access the card. The only way to have it back again is rebooting the telephone with the option Fast Boot disabled.
Any clue about what this should be?
Regards,
I had a similar issue, although I never got the warning, well, it never actually unmounted.
I would try and take a photo and it would drop to the homescreen. I figured I had to unmount and remount the SD card
I did a factory reset to fix it. Maybe the same can help you?

I have had the same from time to time and figured it was due to low quality of the SD-card.
So I actually just switched a few moments ago for another SD-card i got laying around. This is a class 6 card though and a bit better than the class 2 samsung card that comes with the phone. We'll see how this will turn out. Hopefully its a bad microsd card and not the phone.
This solved it. Havent had any problems with the card unmounting since i changed the card.
I had this problem, even start a new thread...
This is due to some corrupt file inside the sdcard or even a bad sector.
Try to do a "chkdsk /f /r" on the sdcard...
Hi,
I've checked the original SD Card with chkdsk as sugested and everything seems OK.
Since then I've changed the original card with a 16GB Class4 Kingston card and the problem does not happen again.
Let's see......
Regards,
If I did only "chkdsk /f" it also reported that the sdcard was alright... but I still had problems...
I had to use "chkdsk /f /r" to discover that I had a bad sector...
Now, for a few days I still hadn't any problems...
Oh, this didn't happened with the stock 8GB card... it was another SD card that I already had.
Replacing the stock card did help.

[Q] SD card issue (keeps saying it is damaged)

Hey Guys,
I've got the Telus version of GS4 I337M and it is rooted running stock. I purchased a 64 GB Adata card (AUSDX64GUICL10-RA1) and loaded it up with about 40 gigs of music. The card was working fine but after I restarted the S4 I got a message saying "Damaged SD card. SD card is damaged. Try reformatting it." I reformatted it went loaded the music and got the same message after a restart. I thought this was strange so I tossed the card in my friends S3 and it worked fine. I then popped it back into the S4 and it started working again. However, after I restarted the phone I got the same message.
I returned the card and picked up a Patriot Memory 64 GB (PSF64GMCSDXC10) to replace it. After putting on 40 gigs of music, I restarted the phone and now I have the same message. I'm starting to think that it is not the cards but the phone. Has anyone else run into this issue and is there any fix? The only reason I got this phone was to use the SD card slot to store all my music.
Thanks!
same issue here. After a reboot, I got the message that the SD card was damaged. I didn't format it, but rebooted and didn't get the message. But do have some problems playing music from time to time. It just stops.
much as i hate to say it, thats 'normal' with GS3/GS4.
I had this issue on my S3. Its an issue with exFAT. Try force formating your SD to fat32. I bet this fixes your issue. Good luck!

This happens to me every time I reboot. If you just reboot again it will be gone. Annoying to have to reboot twice every time so I think I'm going to try to force format fat32 like the above user suggested.

have the problem on my S4 using 64gb. formatted with fat32 already from my pc + phone issue persists. girlfriends has no issue with a 32gb formatted in her S3
I've restarted multiple times but the issue persists. My only option right now is to not restart my phone which is very annoying. Does anyone know if this issue is happening just on stock or does it not matter the ROM?
same problem
I'm having the same problem on my AT&T rooted phone. The only fix I have discovered was unmounting my SD card prior to restarting my phone. I'm curious to see if anyone can find a better solution.

Re-mount SD Card
For me, rebooting takes to long so I have found two alternatives instead of rebooting. One you can physically take out the SD card and then re-insert it or you can go into the settings and then under storage hit mount and it will scan it for errors then work fine. This still does not solve the issue though and it quite annoying since I set a titanium backup pro backup to happen at night onto my SD card and in the morning it always said it has failed due to the damaged SD card error. I'm thinking about switching to a custom ROM just because of this and the volume warning. Any advice?
Have the same issue...I copy all my card contains to my pc , before formatting the sd card . Then I resend the contain back..never happen since
Do you guys have Google Play Music running (either actively or in the background)?
Happened to me daily when I had a Sandisk 64gb card. Returned it for a Samsung 64gb and I've only seen it once in about two months. I did have it formatted as exfat and just last week reformatted as fat32. I'm hoping that might fix the issue for good.
Btw, I never had to reboot when I got the message, just go into settings and click Mount SD card. Worked every time and I never lost any data.

Its funny that you ask. I've been struggling with the same issue of my phone randomly telling me that my SD card has either unexpectedly unmounted or is damaged. I lost all my data tonight (as far as I know at least- both the computer and the S4 want me to format it because it doesn't recognize the file system) and the last thing I was doing was playing a MP3 through Google Play. This file was located on the SD Card as well.
What was your reasoning?

Marshmallow - Be careful with adoptable storage

I have tried Cyanogenmod 13 (Marshmallow) on my device (Rooted LG G3 D855 with TWRP 2.7). Everything went well but things goes wrong when I tested the adoptable storage function.
Trying to configure my MicroSD card as internal storage, I got an error message: Your card is not fast enough to support the function. I gave up but I realized later that I was unable to boot (bootloop) and unable to access TWRP.
I thought first that my phone was bricked.
I spent several hours trying to find a solution (downgrade). Then I tried to remove the MicroSD card. And tada... My phone works again and my MicroSD was unable to work, even in another phone.
I concluded that my MicroSD card was dead. I bought a new one. I received it with an adapter (MicroSD to SD).
I tried to format the old (presumed dead) card using my computer and I got an error message: ownership problem. I forced formatting with Terminal, put it back on mo phone and it works smoothly. :laugh:
Conclusion: Function to use with caution. The card was configured as internal memory. Few hours later, the phone failed to recognize it… then panic on board.

Dude, I am talking about a 64gb Samsung Evo class 10 MicroSD card (the first one) and a 32gb Sandisk Ultra (the second one).
Any suggestions for better brands ?

those are the top brands!
the ownership problem is because your phone formated it and changed permissions but when you pulled it out your phone paniced because part od the internal storage was gone

Phone won't detect SD card, yet (other card in phone) and (my card in other phone) OK

I've had my phone/SD card combo running fine for 4 months. (Moto X Play + 64GB Sandisk SD card) This week, my podcast app started displaying download errors; I soon discovered that the SD card was no longer being detected.
(The Moto is running Marshmallow 6.0.1; the card is a SanDisk Ultra 64GB UHS-I/Class 10 Card SDSQUNB-064G-GN3MN)
The card had been adopted as internal storage.
I performed a factory reset on the phone. No help.
I mounted the card on my PC; it detected errors. Chkdsk said "Corruption was found while examining the volume bitmap".
After correcting the errors, my PC could read the card just fine; folders and photos appeared fine.
But still, my phone couldn't detect my card. Time for some isolation testing:
Insert a different card into my phone: success. The phone detected the card.
Insert my card into a different Android phone: success. The phone detected the card.
What's my next step? Thanks!

I have the same problem. SD card would "vanish" then sometimes "come back" if I physically ejected & re-inserted it a few times, but eventually it stopped altogether. I'm pretty sure it's a hardware issue. I haven't found a solution and it's super-annoying.
BTW is your GPS ok? I also started getting reboots on my phone when the SD card started acting weird, and eventually I traced it to my location services being in high accuracy mode - no problem when I'm in battery saving mode. I'm on a different ROM than you but I'm just curious whether there might be a connection...

Disappearing files in MicroSD Card.

Greetings,
I transferred my Pictures and music from my old SanDisk ultra 64GB micro SD card to my new Samsung Ultra + 128GB card. My first attempt at loading the data was through the restore function on the LG Bridge app from my PC. 3 day later when the restore was finished the phone indicated that the data was corrupted and had to be formatted. The second time I got a "file Corruption" message on my SD card when I was transferring files while both cards were in card readers. The next attempt was with the old card in the card reader, and the new card in the device, with the device connected to my laptop directly by USB, the end result being the Corrupted file message (again). My most recent attempt is by downloading files from my PC to my device card. Now the files are gone when I restart the device. The Music file in my folders are gone but the music outside of the folders are still present. All my pictures on my card are gone as well. ANY help is desperately needed and appreciated!!!
Did anyone have an answer to this? I'm having the same issue with my V30 - the files I copy to the external SD card by any means (AFT, SyncMate, FTP, SyncTunesMac) disappear...
I don't have good news for either of you that sounds like the sd card or the card port are going bad. Is it possible your ad cards are counterfeit as in does this behavior happen with another known good card...
I would try the following
First backup anything you can
Try a known good card that works in other devices and see if the behavior persists if yes
It is an issue with the phone not the card if the behavior stops you both got bum cards be more careful where you buy amazon is not even safe.
If the behavior persists try resetting the phone full factory. If custom Rom reload the rom. If the issue persists past that you most likely have a hardware issue that requires mainboard replacement.
Also try uploading files to the cards using the computer(with the micro sd to sd adapter) and check if the files stay(using the phone)
I had a similar issue with Moto G Turbo with Lollipop. It permanently damaged 2 MicroSD.
I ended doing a factory reset and MicroSD worked correctly again.

By the above description, this is almost certainly a counterfeit sd card.
Google "H2TestW_1.4.zip" to test ANY card you buy before you ever use it.
It's a solid, lightweight program that does its job well.
Anything that says it will do the job better / faster is blowing smoke up your skirt.
